In this article, I will list what I feel are the best e-ink writing tablets currently on the market and explain the reasons why I love them. Unlike other ‘best e-ink tablet‘ webpages I’ve seen, I have actually bought, tested and regularly use the devices I review – here’s a picture of me with a …
E-Ink tablets can be broadly split into two distinct categories; Focused and Versatile. These aren’t official industry words – I just use them because I find them the best way to describe these two classes. And, in my opinion, one type is no better than the other. I wanted to write about this idea because …
Last updated: September 2023 Recently, I’ve seen a few e-ink tablet manufacturers promoting ‘Back to School’ offers on their products, and I thought this would be a good time to talk about which e-ink tablets I think are most suitable for students and academics.
